Thats very sad that they never called you, and at least gave you the option of adopting Garfield.
Its too late now as Garfield is a Pet Angel now, and the Guest of Honor at the Pet Party at Glaciers.
Hes glad that someone wrote a notice about him, and he did not die as an unknown Cat.
And he will be Your Angel Catty 1, when you meet at last.
One Fine Day.
